Heterotrophs are organisms that must consume food from other organisms because they are unable to synthesize their own food molecules.

<h3>What is heterotrophs?</h3>
  • An organism is referred to be a heterotroph if it is unable to manufacture food on its own and must obtain it from other sources of organic carbon, primarily plant or animal materials.
  • Heterotrophs are primary, secondary, and tertiary consumers in the food chain but not producers.
  • Because they eat producers or other consumers, heterotrophs are referred to as consumers.
  • Humans, dogs, and birds are all instances of heterotrophs.
  • In a food chain, a group of creatures that supply energy and nutrients to other organisms, heterotrophs occupy the second and third levels.
  • An organism is referred to as a heterotroph if it consumes other plants or animals for food and energy.
  • Its origins are in the Greek words hetero, which means "other," and trophe, which means "nutrition."
  • Autotrophs and heterotrophs are two main classifications of organisms depending on how they receive energy and nutrients.

The phenotype frequency in a population, changes after each generation. which would most likely be causing this?
lora16 [44]

Answer:

D) Competition between organisms

Explanation:

Random mating between organisms, absence of any factor of evolution (mutation, recombination, gene flow, migration etc.) and a large population size serve to maintain the allele frequency and thereby the phenotype frequency over generations. However, competition between organisms for any natural resource leads to natural selection of "better competing organisms" and increases their phenotype frequency in the population.
